times do change

yes times do change usually for the best – in my case yes for the best
things are all good – business is ticking
gigs are rolling and the music is better than ever!!

Im writing songs now which I admit i was okay at helping out before
Specially in when someone else was laying the words out
I just blast out the chords and help along! no worries
Just always got held up blocked when writing myself
Started writing using thoughts of things that happen and happend is helping a lot
Inspiration doesnt come easy and neither do good lyrics
Although I see some people write bullshit lyrics sometimes the bullshit is good?
As i do more like anything else I get pretty deep into it and get better
Although so far im pretty impressed with my self
I just need this big 12 string acoustic to inspire me to write the chords……..

Anyway in celerbration on my new successes ive changed out my blog theme!!! I hope you like it..
Cause I do !!!
I cleared and tuned my itunes collection on my laptop today and im getting ready for my main collection which should be interesting!!
Im just a third of the way through a new tune this one is real tidy “Rock and roll jigsaw”
Wait till i post these up – far better than the stuff ive done in the past they were shoddy work
Im so much more for getting things right these days……

Im just stepping down from being lugmaster and im waiting for the new person to come along and take role Ive said ill keep attending when i get chance – im sorry to leave the position but i feel its not fair the group should suffer while im so busy – thanks so far to all the support. Great group.

google chrome for mac

ive just took the plunge and thought id try google chrome on the mac.. after using firefox from version one its been a while but sometimes nice for a change!! I can say the install was easy but isnt it always on a mac?… the gui is very simplistic and i like this a lot. Now the extensions i needed were mostly for SEO which i found some great ones actually better than the ones i had loaded before! i also found a great little ebay extenesion and a shareaholic extension which lets me post to multiple site! plugged in a nice little search bar and a pretty neat wordpress extension which is handy for fast blogs.. i found the usual digg / delicious and stumble upon extensions and of course xmarks which brought in all my bookmarks which id been syncing with the firefox xmarks extension.. alexa plugin works well so extensions 10/10 !! browser speed and rendering 10/10
so id say go for it ! i love firefox for being a great browser and certainly better than internet explorer – for lots of reasons including security!!!…

give is a whirl… available for windows and apple mac and linux!!!!!!! i just love multiplatform

Get chrome here

Chrome extensions

More chrome extensions!!

Offsite backup program tests

I tested three backup software programs – i wanted multiplatform – iphone client – reliable and fast back up – easy software – good prices

the failures-> spider oak and sugar sync
the winner -> safe copy!!!

spider oak fails to backup most of the time and the gui is awful – the iphone client sends the link for the file you want to restore but the link fails with file not found – just all round crap – the support team are actually alive and respond the next day which isnt bad but ive read bad reports of people loosing lots ot data so steer clear if you ask me…

Sugar sync!! what a joke ! i got the software on the iphone and computer – setup the account – it asks for activation – activate from link sent be email – still cant login – tried 5 times still no luck – sent email to support – no reply in 2 days still – utter crap.

Safe copy – easy install – looks after itself – 3 gig free!! 150 $50 – file versioning – iphone client works a treat!! no hassle – as many machines as you like added to the one account – this software rocks !!! upload through software or through a browser – easy restore!! – sent recovery files through iphone app and link works perfect!! 100%
